Saturday, June 4, Quartier général
This year marks the start of the United Nations’ International Decade of Indigenous Languages, intended to celebrate the diversity and importance of these languages, mobilize the resources necessary for their survival, revitalize their transmission, and put an end to their tragic disappearance.
What can the performing arts do to stimulate the vitality of the languages of Kanata and elsewhere? How can we promote the emergence and development of artistic expression stemming from these languages, their memory, and the worlds they contain?
